  • Publication number: 20050248722
    Abstract: Interactive eye glasses comprising a frame, at least one lens and a display. The frame includes at least one lens support, a pair of opposing leg members and a display assembly coupling member. The pair of opposing leg members are coupled to the lens support. The display assembly coupling member is associated with at least one of the lens support and at least one of the pair of opposing leg members. The at least one lens is coupled to the lens support. The display assembly comprises a display screen, a control circuitry and a power means. The display screen is capable of displaying one of images and alpha-numeric characters and is coupled to the display assembly coupling member. The control circuitry is electronically coupled to the display screen. The power means is capable of electrically powering the control circuitry and display screen.

  • Publication number: 20040017565
    Abstract: This invention provides a glow discharge emission spectroscopic analysis apparatus which is capable of making a desired chemical analysis with excellent reproducibility. A glow discharge emission spectroscopic analysis apparatus of this invention is constituted so that the sample is held by a first electrical conductor provided on one side of a glow discharge tube and a second electrical conductor is movable by a cylinder rod to secure the sample in contact with the first electrical conductor. The electrical conductors can be electrically connected with each other. when the sample is secured, and a negative electric potential is applied to the electrical conductors.
